This luxury country house is a contemporary classic on a grand scale

This house design is where Classicism and uncompromising Contemporary design happily meet. The symmetry of this luxury country house with its two wings that frame and enclose the south facing terrace recalls the grand estate houses of Ireland – and this house certainly has that setting overlooking the vast corn fields which surround it. But the symmetry is playfully broken with a clever arrangement of glazed gables across the front elevation. The whole composition is brought to rest with two of Jane Burnside’s signature tall, white chimneys which anchor the composition firmly in its setting.
